Buttermilk Pancakes
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 3 tbsp sugar
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
– 1 large egg
– 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
– Butter or oil for greasing the griddle
– Maple syrup, fresh berries, or toppings of your choice
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add the buttermilk and melted butter. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
3. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the center. Gently fold the mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. It’s okay if there are a few lumps remaining.
4. Preheat a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil.
5. Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Continue with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed between batches.
8. Serve the pancakes warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or any other toppings you desire.
